Summary

We have an opportunity to deepen our relationship with the Holy Spirit through today's meditative prayer and the Rosary. Fr. Mark-Mary invites us to personally engage with the Holy Spirit by offering areas of our hearts that need healing, courage, or comfort. He reminds us to see the Holy Spirit not merely as a symbol, but as a divine person who listens, responds, and loves. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Finding of Jesus in the Temple and Baptism of Jesus and we will be praying two decades of the Rosary.

1:29.3	The images we have of the Holy Spirit, of a dove, or fire, are super helpful.
1:35.9	And they were revealed for us in Scripture.
1:38.8	But also, they can lead to a certain struggle of a depersonalization of the person of the Holy Spirit as an object or an image, substance, animal, as opposed to a divine person who can hear us, who can speak to us, who loves us, who's worthy of our adoration.
